THE BIRDIE GOLF-HYBRID GOLF
MERGER
1. As with any other merger analysis, we need to examine the present value of the incremental cash
flows. The cash flow today from the acquisition is the acquisition costs plus the dividends paid
today, or:
Using the information provided, we can determine the cash flows to Birdie Golf from acquiring
Hybrid Golf. All earnings not retained are paid as dividends, so the cash flows for the next five years
will be:
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5
Terminal value of equity 235,000,000
To discount the cash flows from the merger, we must discount each cash flow at the appropriate
Discoun
t
rate Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5
Dividends 16.9% $21,287,425 $8,236,003 $8,134,535 $6,522,127 $7,546,627
And the NPV of the acquisition is:

after the merger will be:
So, the exchange ratio which would make the cash offer and share offer equivalent is:
4. The highest exchange ratio Birdie would accept is an exchange ratio that results in a zero NPV
acquisition. This implies the share price of Birdie remains unchanged after the merger, so the
exchange ratio is:
